In San Diego “to jam and massacre some legendary songs” at the after-party for Kirk Von Hammet’s Fear FestEvil, Exodus took the time to discuss lineup changes, moving forward and their upcoming Blood in Blood Out.

Torch-carrying guitarist Gary Holt, drummer and co-founder Tom Hunting (now on his third stint with the band) and recently returned vocalist Steve “Zetro” Souza (also on third trip) sit in on this discussion. As to how they came to the lineup they’ve assembled for Blood In Blood Out, Hunting says, “We were at an impasse, and this album is number 10, so it had to be special.”

Cincinnati, Ohio – The Warriors of Metal, Inc. non-profit organization is excited to announce that after years of loyal support and attendance of our summer festival, the young Cincinnati, Ohio Thrash Metal band SPLIT THE ABYSS will be one of the featured bands during the Thursday, June 26th Pre-Fest Showcase of this year’s Warriors Of Metal Fest VII at O’Sheckys LIVE in Columbus, Ohio. The entry fee for the Pre-Fest Showcase is only $10 at the door and music starts at 6:00 pm.

Check out To Die at the Wall off the band’s second full-length, With Savage Intent, which was released in November of last year, below:

Band drummer John Wood “Woody” Corsini Jr. states: “We are honored to be a part of 2014’s Warriors of Metal Fest VII. We’ve been in attendance at previous festivals and we’ve always had a great time at this event. It’s the best metal festival Ohio has to offer and one of the recent highlights for us included seeing two legendary bands in Helstar and Manilla Road at the 2012 edition of this show because for both of them it was the first time they had played in Ohio since the early to mid 1980s! And now to go from being patrons to performers, shows what a young band can accomplish if it is supportive of its local and regional shows. We’ll now be sharing the stage with so many bands from around the country and this will finally put us on a national scale. Be forewarned, we intend to be the heaviest band at Warriors of Metal Fest 2014.”

WARBEAST – DESTROY IS OUT NOW, VIA HOUSECORE RECORDS!

Stone Says:BUY this WARBEAST DESTROY CD… play it LOUD wherever and whenever YOU want to, torment your lame neighbors with it, cherish it and be fucking thankful WARBEAST exists! Metal be thy name.

Unbridled musical attitude namely gets fullest correspondence, at this extensive and adept high-speed note-command in all matters; and this includes even just the mangy as well as decayed, but always worth hearing variable micro-output of the prestigious wildcat Liz Gorgeous.

Founded in 2009, the enthusiastic Upper Franconian bunch of Thrashers around front-fury Liz worked out an enormous agile, rythmicized sound of pure defiance. The results are varied songs, which doesn’t lack neither of refined structures nor of catchy moments.

This allows the troupe to create easily animating needs for movement. In the homeland of the dynamic chapel, the famous German beer and brewer city Kulmbach, Metalheads already recognize and appreciate the formation fully.

Currently DYING GORGEOUS LIES keep their Digital EP Rising Hate in the race. Rising Hate is intended as an effective appetizer for their upcoming second studio album, which will be on the market in 2014.
